Japanese Cast Bronze Flower Vase Yasumi Nakajima Suehiro Tsurukubi Ikebana

This is a Japanese cast bronze flower vase (kabin) created by the metalwork artist Yasumi Nakajima. It features a slender crane-neck profile (tsurukubi) that widens smoothly into a conical, broad base known as a "suehiro" shape.

The vase is crafted from cast copper alloy with a deep reddish-brown finish, presenting a subtle mottled surface texture inherent to the casting process. A stamped artist signature mark is located on the flat underside of the base, and it is accompanied by its original signed wooden storage box (tomobako).
